Visit the major parks of the American West in one amazing trip. This fast- paced itinerary gives you a chance to visit and photograph Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon and, last but not least, Grand Canyon National Park. In addition, we photograph Salt Lake City, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, Route 66 and the unbelievable Las Vegas ‘Strip'. One of the unsung highlights is our visit to the remote North Rim Grand Canyon and our excursion on a remote dirt road to Toroweap, where we are treated to one of the world's most beautiful panoramas. John Gravett, our guide, has for 20 years run the very successful Lakeland Photo Holidays near Keswick in the English Lake District. He has a passion for passing on the skills he has acquired over the course of his career and is very much looking forward to this workshop in the USA. You will be blown away by the wealth of photographic opportunities that the American South-West can offer!

Is this holiday for you?

This is a touring and sightseeing holiday with a professional photographer (John Gravett) and a North American driver/guide. There will be the opportunity to undertake short walks (of up to an hour) in search of the best viewpoints at each of the places we visit. There are no really long walks or unduly difficult underfoot conditions. There will be a lot of travelling in a private minibus as we head south through the heart of the continent. Accommodation throughout is in comfortable hotels, motels and lodges with twin-sharing and en-suite facilities.
